Bedford, VA

Bedford, one of Virginia’s main street cities, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Homes and other buildings from the 1800s still stand on Bedford real estate. Military history is important to the city, which is home to the National D-Day Memorial and markers on Virginia’s Civil War Trail. Bedford real estate is located between Roanoke and Lynchburg, just west of I-95.

Nearby Smith Mountain Lake has a significant influence on Bedford real estate prices. However, a number of other factors add to Bedford real estate values, including low unemployment and excellent schools. Many are attracted to the area’s natural beauty and wealth of local attractions ranging from family-owned vineyards to the popular Appalachian Trail. For more on Bedford, see the facts below.
